Part VI
Usagi clutched her cane and
walked through the door. Kasumi hugged her. "OH! You’re alright! Ramna
and Akane told us what happened, we owe you so much!" Usagi was led into
the main room and Kasumi sat her down. Soun and Genma sat down before her
along with Nodoka, Kuno, Ramna, Nabiki, Kasumi, and Akane. "Now you tell
us, how did you do what you were able to do. We know what happened. But
how?"
Usagi took a deep breath.
"I am from another world. I am a warrior named Sailor Moon. I had a group
of warriors who fought along with me called the Sailor Senshi. Together
we fought the evil of the Negaverse. The woman I defeated today was the
double of the woman named Queen Beryl who was trying to awaken the Negaforce.
Luckily I got to Beryl in this world, before she could. We weren’t so fortunate
in my own. We had to pool our powers and use the Ginzuishou to defeat her.
But the Ginzuishou draws energy from it’s wielders, and to use it to it’s
full potential is death. I am the only one who can do so, they could only
give me energy and I sent it into the attack, it resulted in our deaths.
With my dying breath I used my last bit of energy to reincarnate us and
erase any memory of the Negaverse from our minds and those of the world.
And for a time we lived that way, but it was not to be, a new evil came
about and Luna had to resurrect me and in turn my scouts."
She gritted her teeth and
continued. "Problem was that we had an outside operative. His name was
Tuxedo Kamen. He didn’t regain his memories until the crux of the final
battle. When he remembered what we had meant to each other and thrown himself
before a blast meant for me. HE survived, we all did, including the enemy.
They realized the error of their ways and turned."
"WE lived in peace after that,
until a little pink haired girl fell from the sky. Onto my head, from that
moment she plagued my life. She hypnotized my family and forced them to
think that she was our cousin. Strangest thing was that she began to grow
on me and I found myself putting my life on the line for a little fungus
who was after the Ginzuishou, she never really talked to us about why she
needed it, only that she needed it to heal her Mom. WE fought the newest
enemy to a standstill, until they pulled a quick trick and opened up a
vortex, and it was sucking us in. I couldn’t let the Scouts die trying
to destroy it, so I went in alone and Used the Ginzuishou to destroy it
from the inside. It spit me out over Jueysenko springs, China, eight feet
above it to be exact. I fell into a pool that the guides who had been making
sure no one fell in. I was the first. I stayed with them for a while as
a guide, and then I came here. This Dojo is located in the same exact place
as my old house was." Usagi watched their faces.
"That is some story. What
about that enemy you left your friends with?"
Usagi nodded, "Another quirk.
It seems I wasn’t really a part of the team, I was just their trainer,
and it was time for me to move on. I’ll go back, just not until I’ve got
back up for them. More specifically Ramna, Akane, and Kuno. I am to train
them in the ways of a Senshi. And then they will come with me back to my
world to help defeat the NegaMoon."
Ramna, Akane, and Kuno face
vaulted. "Wow! What if we don’t want to go to your world?" Ramna asked.
Usagi sighed, "Fate leaves
no loopholes, even if I hadn’t found out about these lovely little details
while I was out. Destiny would have gotten us there somehow. A loose warp-hole,
whatever, ready or not we’d be sent there. I think you would rather be
prepared."
Akane, Ramna, and Kuno admitted
defeat. "All right, what first?"
Usagi smiled, "First, you
have already taken the first step. Next…", She held up her hands cupped
, moon dust gathered and swirled into three little Henshin wands. "Think
fast!" she tossed them to their owners. "Well Samurais of Silence. Welcome
to hell."
Akane pulled at the collar
and mouth cover of her uniform. "Why do I have to be the Samurai of Hush?",
she whispered to Ramna.
"Why do I have to be the Yin-Yang?"
HE gestured at his uniform of black and white.
Kuno growled, "At least I
got to keep my name!" he muttered.
"Whatever Blue thunder! You
need a new name, you shout that one up and down the streets!"
Sailor Moon hushed them. "Be
quiet! Or the Youma will hear you!" Their target, a very slug brained turtleish
looking monster looked around. "OK! NOW! DON"T FORGET THE SPEECH!" she
whispered.
Hush, Yin Yang, and Thunder
nodded. "Hold it right there! The youma looked at her dully, it’s terrified
victim, still had the brains to run.
"You shall pay for terrifying
innocent people! I am Blue Thunder and I will thunder down on you for this
trespass!"
Sailor Moon nodded and looked
to Hush and Yin Yang. "I am The Samurai of Hush! And for hurting that innocent,
I’m going to hush you up!"
Ramna swallowed, "My speech
is dumb! I’m making up my own! I am Yin Yang I represent the two sides
of life! Life and Death, Death is coming for you! And I am… I am its avatar!
Be prepared for oblivion, it’s jaws close about you now! Yin Yang, Life
and Death Shock!", he yelled. The attack sped towards the youma, phased
by Yin Yang’s speech. IT died without a sound.
Sailor Moon applauded, "Very
good! You have discovered the purpose of speeches!",
Yin Yang nodded, "They distract
your enemy so you can attack?"
Sailor Moon nodded, "Yes,
but don’t rely on them, the Youma is not usually as stupid as this one
is, and will use your speech against you." She nodded, "Now we go home.
And relax, but keep alert. Youma don’t usually attack in twos, but it has
happened.", Sailor Moon looked around and de-transformed. "Not bad. Not
bad at all, I’m…", Usagi trailed off and put a hand to the side of head
as she heard voices in her mind.
"Usagi! It is time! Take your
Samurai! Go home!",
Usagi looked up. "Time to
go, everyone gather around me and link hands." Hush, Thunder, and Yin Yang
complied. Usagi summoned the Mirror and looked into its rippling surface.
"Mirror! Take us to the Sailor Senshi!" The Mirror’s surface rippled and
the Samurai and their trainer were encased in a prismatic sphere. The sphere
lifted and left their dimension.
It set them down on the pavement
outside the Hiwaka Jinja. Usagi lowered the Mirror and looked around, her
senses were going wild. "Shhh, there’s trouble, be on your guard." she
whispered, as a crash from behind the bath house confirmed her intuition.
"Let’s go!"
Usagi got a wave of cold water
right in the face, Ramna as well. A Youma was spraying water all over.
Orlin growled deep in her throat. Ramna-chan squealed, "I’m soaked!", she
whispered.
Orlin clutched her staff "Let’s
get that rat bastard!", Rei was pinned to the wall by several spears of
wood. Makoto was sprawled a little further away, Minako and Ami were desperately
trying to shield Chibi-Usa from the Youma. "Hey you! Watch where you spray
that stuff! I hate waster!", she howled. She leapt before them, followed
by the Samurai. "I am Orlin Cari! As you can see I am half cat, so get
ready for a cat fight!" she hissed.
Yin Yang snarled, "DO you
have any idea how long it takes this suit to dry? I am Yin Yang and for
Life and Death you’re all washed up!"
"I am the Samurai of Hush!"
"I am Blue thunder!"
"Together we are the Samurai
of Silence! Along with our trainer, you’re dead meat!",
Luna leapt before them, "Hurry
help them!"
Yin Yang screeched, "CAT!
AHH!" Luna had stupidly sent Ramna into the Shiro Neko Ken maneuver.
Orlin groaned, "Oh great!
Ramna Neko? Get the bad Youma who’s terrorizing the nice people!", Ramna-neko
purred and attacked the Youma. Orlin grabbed Luna by the scruff, "Never
do that again Luna."
Luna face vaulted, "How did
you know my name?"
Orlin smiled her toothy grin,
"All in good time, but for now you go in here!" She stuffed Luna into her
pouch. "Yin-Yang-neko, here girl! I’ll finish it off." Yin-Yang-neko ambled
up to her. "You are dead! Aroyyo Colin Sai!" Her Chi blast disintegrated
the Youma. She knelt before Yin-Yang-Neko, "Watch my hands pretty Kitty.",
She repeated the act of holding her fingers and breaking Ramna’s trance.
"OH man! Thanks Orlin-chan!",
Yin Yang got up.
"Let’s take care of them."
Orlin instructed.
Rei and Makoto lay on futons
in the fire reading room. Orlin sat cross legged while Chibi-Usa tried
to work up the courage to approach her. Rei looked at them, "Who are you?"
Orlin looked at her "I’d think
you’d have had a vision of us Rei-chan." she said.
Rei blinked, "How’d you now?
Who told you my name?"
Orlin laughed, "You did. I
remember the first time we met."
Rei blinked, "We’ve never
met!"
Orlin winked, "Have you ever
heard that saying, don’t judge a book by it’s cover? That applies to me
in all respects, the one about beauty is only skin deep."
Rei sweat dropped, "And this
means what?"
Yin Yang entered with a bowl
of warm water, "Got the warm water!"
Makoto did a double take,
"Your voice changed! You were a girl before!"
Yin Yang nodded, "I was, then
I splashed myself with warm water."
He set the bowl in front of
Orlin. "I really hate water.", she moaned.
Yin Yang tapped his boot,
"Yeah right, you just don’t want to show them! DO it!"
Orlin flinched. "Sadist. I
have what in known as a Jueysenko curse, when I am splashed with cold water
I become what you see before you, when I come in contact with warm water…"
Orlin thrust her hand into the water, "YEEOWH! That’s scalding!" Usagi
screeched, she cradled her hand to her chest and took off after Yin Yang.
He rushed through the door and closed it behind him, she banged on it,
"You can’t escape from the righteous wrath of Usagi thou misbegotten…"
she trailed off, and turned blushed. "Hi?", she was assaulted by ten pairs
of arms hugging the breath from her poor misused body.
Ramna heard the squished groan
from Usagi. "Phase 1 completed.", Ramna joked.
Akane leaned against, "What
about that Mamoru guy? HE should be around. Kuno told me about him. I’d
like to give him a first hand introduction to my biggest mallet!" she said.
"I’d carry a cat in my pocket
anticipating his arrival!" he agreed.
"Excuse me, are the girls
inside?" A tall 20 something year old man with black hair and eyes stood
before them.
Ramna blinked, "You wouldn’t
happen to be Chiba Mamoru would you?"
The man nodded, "Yes, I am."
Ramna nodded calmly, then
his eyes bugged out, "Get ‘im!", Mamoru high tailed it out of there.
"Damn it all! We lost him!",
Ramna swore.
"We should have paid more
attention when Usagi was teaching us how to track.", Akane groaned. She
stowed her mallet. "Let’s get back."
Together they left, Tuxedo
Kamen watched them from the branches above. "Usako?", he whispered.
Usagi stood in the bath house
and doused her head in cold water. She looked at her now feline features
in the mirror. "This curse has gotta go!", she muttered, she was about
to splash herself with warm water when a commotion sounded outside.
"Usako? Where are you?"
Orlin sighed and went out
side. She gasped as she saw Mamo-chan being chased by Kuno and Ramna, while
Akane was perched on a tree ready to drop the mallet on the head. "Hold
it!" she yelled. Everything stopped, Akane even halted her flight through
mid air with her mallet raised above her head.
"Oh! Orlin! It’s not what
it looks like!" Ramna stuttered.
"Oh really? It’s sure as hell
does! Explain yourselves!" she tapped her foot on the ground.
Mamoru stared at her. "Do
I know you?"
Orlin stared at him, "Once
I’m done with these three, you’re going to wish to hell not!" she snapped.
Mamoru paled. "Now as for you three! What have I been teaching you? We
protect the innocent, no matter what they’ve done. IF they are innocent,
we do not hurt them! Got it?", she barked, or whatever. They trio nodded,
"Now go on!", Ramna stopped by her and looked at her with big puppy dog
eyes. "GO!", in her anger she doesn’t see Rei and Ami creep up behind her
with a bucket of hot water.
"Orlin! Look out!", Ramna
yelled.
Orlin turned and saw the water
headed for her and Ramna, "oh great!" Usagi and Ramna chan screeched, "What
did you do that for!" they yelled in unison.
Mamoru paled further, "Usako!"
Usagi found herself having
the air squeezed from her once more. "Ramna? Help!", she managed.
Ramna-chan clouted him over
the head. Mamoru fell back holding him head. "What in hell!", he spun on
Ramna-chan. "Why in hell did you do that?", he yelled.
Ramna-chan began to laugh,
"You don’t know? Usagi! You didn’t tell us he was so stupid!"
Usagi shrugged, "Where’s Kuno?"
"I SHALL SMITE THEE!", Kuno
streaked from the Jinja at Mamoru.
Usagi sigh, "Hold it !"
As if someone had froze the
frame , only his eyes moved, "Ne?"
"Down boy!" Kuno dropped down.
"Oh come on!"
"No! Now get with Akane you
two. This is my mess! I’ll clean it up!" Kuno drooped and he and Ramna
went to grove of cherry trees where Akane was watching from. Usagi gave
Rei and Ami the evil eye, "You guys too!" they beat hot feet out of there.
Mamoru stood up, and went
to Usagi, "Usako, I can explain!"
Usagi held up a hand. "You
will do no explaining. I will tell you what I know first, one, I know about
your dreams, I’ve been having them myself, two, I’ve come to terms with
it, three, just because Chibi-Usa is our future daughter doesn’t mean you
have to stay away from me. I thought you liked the kid, myself."
Mamoru paled, "Chibi-Usa?
Daughter?" he squeaked.
"Yes, I thought you had figured
it out! Chibi Usa? Little Usagi?"
"But my dreams!"
She hushed him, "Were sent
by King Endymion, your future self. To test our love, to see if you would
do anything to protect me."
Mamo-chan blinked, "Oh Usako,
it tore me to pieces when you threw yourself into that vortex, I was about
to follow you!"
Usagi laid a finger over his
lips, "I know, that’s why I closed it so fast. Not do the smart thing and
shut up for a moment."
Mamoru blinked, "Why? MMMPHH!",
Usagi had him in a full lip lock.
Kuno tore the branch from the
tree. "That scourge! I’ll eradicate him! Bewitch my Usagi will he? I shall
smite him from the face of the planet!"
"Yeah right!", Kuno turned
and gasped at the brunette vision who stood before him. "They’ve been in
love for over ten thousand years! You don’t stand a chance!", Makoto scoffed.
Akane looked at the expression
on Kuno’s face. "Oh no! Not again!", Ramna looked at Makoto, "I’d start
running now, that way you would have a head start."
Makoto sweat dropped, "Why?"
Akane gestured at Kuno, who
was making calves eye’s at Makoto. "That’s why!"
Kuno threw himself to one
knee before Makoto. "My love! I surrender myself to your magnificence!
BE mine own heart own true hope of love!"
Makoto jumped back. A mallet
swung down and hit Kuno in the head. "Sorry, he does this. He used to be
in love with Ramna’s female form too."
Makoto sweat dropped. "Female
form?", Ramna pulled the mask from her face. "More than my voice changes!",
She winked.
Chibi-Usa looked Usagi up and
down. "So you’re telling me that you’re my mom?", she said.
Usagi nodded, "You may not
enjoy it, but that’s what biology says."
Chibi-Usa nodded, "Before
the Nega vortex , I wouldn’t have believed you. But now you’ve changed,
you just might be my mommy!", Usagi found yet another pair of arms around
her neck, but these two she didn’t mind so much.
